RULE CHANGE: Waiver Claims during "playoffs"

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · December 27th, 2012, 08:30 PM

In order to close the loophole in the rules, I offer the following rule change:

Any team (even non-playoff bound teams) can claim a player who is placed on waivers during the playoffs. (NOTE: This does not affect the playoff FA rules.)

Preds · December 28th, 2012, 12:13 AM

I voted NO because I'd like to propose a 3rd option.

Do NOT allow ANY waiver claims in the post-season. Instead, players wiaved during the post-season become instant UFA's.

They can be bid on by the playoff teams but only for 1 yr deals like the rest of the UFA's, and all waived players in the post-season are UFA's the next off-season.

I voted no because when you are in the playoffs, you are fighting for something. Why would we allow THE Mighty Chunks to bump a player, to keep a playoff team from filling in for an injury? Makes no sense to change that rule. I have never been in a league where non-playoff teams are allowed to get new players after season has ended.

Oops...I just re-read it...only dropped player claims...not FA bidding..DOH...

I still vote No...only because I am republican who likes to see the rich get richer...

Burt..... Ugh.

Burt the Butcher · December 28th, 2012, 12:38 PM

Hey..gotta agree with Preds once in a while....keeps him off guard...

Scorpions · December 28th, 2012, 01:34 PM

after rereading it, i change my vote to yes, not sure how we can do that. thought it was for FA, tahts what i get for reading and trying to work

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · December 28th, 2012, 01:39 PM

Yep... it's only for PLAYERS CUT and THEN CLAIMED OFF WAIVERS within the 24-hour window. Now, if this motion fails... then Mike's alternative motion can be on the table.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · December 28th, 2012, 01:41 PM

Changed your vote for you, Dale.

Liquid Swords · December 28th, 2012, 02:30 PM

Even though I will rarely have this option, I voted YES

Not to be difficult, but we didn't even have any discussion before this was put up for a vote.

I really think the idea of making all post-season waiver cuts UFA's with 1 yr max contacts for the rest of the year makes more sense than options 1 or 2.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · December 28th, 2012, 05:57 PM

Didn't think about a discussion. Oops. Was simply wanting to get moving on these ideas, since we completely spaced one if them last off season.

Preds · December 31st, 2012, 09:28 AM

I still would like to see discussion of this and have the vote represented with 3 options.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · December 31st, 2012, 01:10 PM

Start the discussion in a separate thread, Mike.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · August 6th, 2013, 02:55 PM

Still waiting for 4 teams to vote.
(Are you one of them?)

Preds · December 5th, 2014, 02:50 PM

Just catching back up on the 2012 discussion. I see I voiced nobody should be able to make a claim, which was one of 2 options I just posted are what I'd think would be fair for all. I think this is still the best choice though.
